Well, that was muh-CHUR!!!!!
Don't like "tranny?" Stop saying "Gen." It's "generation."
Kind of a double-standard for shorthand, isn't it???
This post is not intended to be a serious rebuttal, nor is it designed to propose any actual standard system of shortcut references to tediously multisyllabic terms, including but not limited to, transmission, generation, and light-emitting diode.

Besides, everyone knows that "tranny" is a mechanicalogical thingy with gears and stuff. skooter and his friends spell it "trannie", usually with a little heart instead of a dot over the i.

Hey, I'm just a bit over 53....like 7 yearsNot sure about the above average part, but definitely old...
Tranny has been short for transmission since long before gender reassignment and its related terms came in the general lexicon..
Context matters, too, folks.

Hey, I'm even older. I'm from a time when gay meant happy and cheerful.
So old, I'm unlikely to get another FJR after my 2014

Yeah ... and none of this was part of the public discussion. I miss those days. The days when happy and cheerful folks could do what they wanted in their own space, and they did not feel compelled to rub my nose in it continuously.So old, I'm unlikely to get another FJR after my 2014.
Hey ... MCATrophy ... You may be old, but you're still quite sharp. I'll bet you'll be looking for another bike in a couple of years

It's threads like this that get me through the Winter, if Winter ever comes. We'll definitely be riding on Christmas eve and Christmas day here in Pittsburgh. Life is good.

Ha, I'm so old I even remember WHEN gay didn't mean GAY any more. It was 1969 and we just moved to our new home in Waterford Michigan. There were 9 of us, all 14 years old, who hung out constantly that year, pounding each other to death playing "king of the raft" down at the beach at Huntoon lake. That 10 foot square raft was floating about 50 yards off shore all summer long. Amazing how such a dumb (and maybe dangerous) game could be so much fun. The "king" would stand atop that raft proudly proclaiming such, and each new challenger was loudly deemed to be "gay" for even trying to ascend the throne. I'd never heard that before. I guess the dictionary changed a little that summer. Remember '69? That was the year that Honda came out with the mighty 750 four and Kawasaki fielded their legendary Mach 1. I was busy dreaming about how I could buy a motorcycle with some real power. My Honda 50 could make 36 mph if I laid down on the gas tank and kept my head down. Little did I know there would one day there would be an FJR in my garage. OK, fine, it's not a 2016, but it's paid for and runs like a scalded cat. Hope those of you who can, do indeed enjoy having a new Gen 4 in the garage.Hey, I'm even older. I'm from a time when gay meant happy and cheerful.Hey, I'm just a bit over 53....like 7 years

Michigan has always been gay. They were probably using the word gay there even before 1969.
The Hollywood "in crowd" were using it earlier. It eventually migrated into the vernacular.
Of course there was no "urban dictionary" or internet to spread the knowledge, so it moved more slowly.
I remember before it became popular to "come out" that I stayed in a Washington DC hotel for a conference, and they'd screwed up my reservation, and the only room left was a very large pent house suite. They gave it to me. It had a door bell. There were several rooms inside, including kitchen, two bedrooms, living room, a couple of bath rooms, and a TV in every room ... this was high luxury. So how is this relevant to the current discussion?
Liberace had the suite next to mine. He was "out" but I was not "in", so I did not know.
No, there were no connecting doors ...
